Seasoned actress and business mogul Nana Ama McBrown advised young ladies to consider marriage after 35 years and men after 40 years.
McBrown's marriage advice
In an exclusive interview on Starr Chat with media personality Bolar Ray, Nana Ama McBrown said that if she were young again, she would have thought about marriage when she was 35.
"I always tell people that if I were to become a child again, I would start thinking about marriage after 35 years. And if I was a man, I would think about marriage after 40 years or probably 45."
The Onua Showtime host said that having children before marriage was nothing wrong, despite society frowning on it. She said that it was only a mistake, and such incidents do happen.
"I will have kids prior to marriage. I know I would have an issue with what I am saying but look, in the principle of life, there are mistakes that we make when we welcome a child with someone. If the man does not marry you, there is nothing wrong with that. The Bible has its rules and there are also rules of life as well as problems of life."
McBrown and Bola Ray debate
After making these statements on the show, the show's host, Bola Ray, did not side with McBrown, as he spoke about the teachings in the Bible going against her words.
Bola Ray stated that as parents, you must raise a child according to the teachings of the Bible in order not to go wayward, wait for your time when you are of age and then get married before having kids.
But Nana Ama McBrown, who recently marked her 47th birthday, said Bola Ray's words were right. However, as kids, you did things behind your parents' backs.
"Your mother will take care of you and everything but a Joe Boy would bring Cerelac to school and you would fall in love with him and follow him."
Explaining further, Mrs McBrown Mensah, who recently freed 47 inmates on her 47th birthday, said that everyone does not grow up in a proper home and that for her, she grew up with her mother and ended up being abused by men.
